This is the Republican Dream. Shifting taxes to states then to localities and finally to each group within the locality. As the nation moves farther and farther to the right expect the to happen in every state and local agency out there.

In this supposed Dream, who would pay for the missiles and bombs? We've got to destroy developing nations on a regular basis! Republicans actually agree completely with your preference for top-down central control.

> As the nation moves farther and farther to the right What country do you live in? Surely it can't be the US, who has been enacting very leftist policies for a while now, who has had a leftist president for almost eight years now, whose youth is advocating for a self-identified "democratic socialist" for president, and the country where the most popular republican candidate by far is a centrist RINO.

    Nice straw-man, but I'm an anarchist and an atheist. If you believe it's heading right, I would love to see your arguments, or you can choose to stay at the kids table and continue calling people names.

      It seems unlikely that an anarchist would use the term "RINO" except as a joke. Anarchists reject the entire ridiculous Coke-vs-Pepsi circus. One who can actually see daylight between Democrats and Republicans is too in love with the status quo to reject its arbitrary authority.

        >It seems unlikely that an anarchist would use the term "RINO" except as a joke. Anarchists reject the entire ridiculous Coke-vs-Pepsi circus Rejecting the fact that a red team vs blue team dynamic exists is denying the political reality of the time. I used the term RINO because it accurately describes Trump, a centrist who is using the R next to his name as a way to get more votes rather than an indication of his beliefs.

        ...denying the political reality of the time. Yes let's do that. We're anarchists after all, so we're allowed to step back and see the forest. D gets elected, the government spends more money, some oppressed group becomes slightly less so, the rest of us become slightly more so, we bomb some benighted Asian locale. R gets elected, the government spends more money, some oppressed group becomes slightly less so, the rest of us become slightly more so, we bomb some benighted "developing" locale. D gets elected... This is literally every presidential administration in my lifetime and in my parents' lifetimes. What "dynamic" could possibly merit attention, which changes so little?

      and you can't write what you wrote and expected to be treated as anything other than a useless wingnut. nearly everything you wrote was specifically designed to make clear that you're a closed-minded libertarian fucknut who isn't interested in (or capable of) an intelligent conversation. As such, you shouldn't be surprised when people respond to you in a way that makes clear that they don't respect you, they don't treat you seriously, and that they wish you'd move to Somalia where you can live your idiotic dream. instead, you (like the rest of the libertarian scum) just complain that you aren't allowed to force your will onto the rest of us, against our will. you're just another fucking fascist. Now kindly fuck off.

  Who are you referring to? Trump and Carson are both pretty far right of center (both are pursuing massively reduced taxes, and Trump takes an extreme (even by GOP standards) view on preventing illegal immigration.

Joe Biden is a republican? Didn't you vote for him in the last two elections?

  Nope, I voted for Ronald Reagan, (praise be his name), the architect of the New American Constitution.
